Well. . .what do you expect to happen in Union County if the residential building continues without adding rateables? I don't wish ill on people who live there, but what do you think is going to happen. . .It takes tax money to build schools.
You are asking an inconvenient question. It's often ignored when asked.

KISS rule….either planning boards limit approvals on new developments until the infrastructure is in place to accommodate new residents or to speed the process up, RAISE TAXES to pump money in the system….Its about time taxes have gone up

I honestly think that your beef is with town & county officials rather than the school board. The way I see it, your BOE is in a no-win position. How high can taxes go before natives of Union County start to get priced out? Whether you like it or not, you need rateables.
The power plant which is coming to my town is on land that had to be annexed, so no problem there. It's expected to put over $2 million into the county coffers annually. That's a lot of money that residents won't have to pay, & that's just one company.
By not looking for rateables, your county board is assisting every other county in the area, not that Union would get everything, but it's more for every other county.

Can you answer me a question? why would you over load a building with structural issues built in 1961 to over 100% of capacity, yet leave a building that was built in 2009 at about 80%?
@ Southbound….a few pages ago you posted about residents telling people who work in Kings Mtn and Gastonia to move to UC….you seemed to imply it was residents from UC feel they are better than other people….Just curious, these people that were posting, could they have been realtors drumming up business?

I'm not that familiar with the specifics of your school structures. However your towns & counties are continuing to allow residential construction as if the BOE can hang kids from the rafters like a colony of bats. Without getting a good influx of tax money from rateables the BOE has one choice - shuffle kids. If the building is occurring to the west they have to shift to the east. They must have a projection of the expected influx from new construction. If you over-compensate now it takes longer before they have to shuffle kids again. That seems obvious to me.
What is most obvious is that the house of cards will implode if they don't start getting rateables. They will harm too many people if they jack up taxes to build more schools.

Anything is possible but they were not designated as realtors. These were not residents of Gastonia & Kings Mountain. They were people relocating for jobs in those cities. I remember one who told a woman whose husband had gotten a job in Kings Mountain to relocate to her town which she claimed was Matthews in Union County. I hope to god that that was not a realtor.

So if ratables don't come, how do you propose to get the $?
